densel:
Seeing this topic gave me tears and goose bumps. Are you ready to read? Don't say l didn't warn you.
Background:
I was an importer of medical equipments from China. I made a monthly sales of 80 to 110 pcs. That's about 1.8million to 2.5million in sales monthly. Take home is bt 750k and 1m each month.

The new sheriff in town came in and sales dropped from 100 to 60 to 30 to 10 to 7 to 0. Yes 0 sales for 3 consecutive months then 7 PC's the month after and another 0 for 3 consecutive months again.

My woes: 2017
Couldn't pay rent no more. Sold off the car to fix just one room in our uncompleted building. Moved into a sandy house. Son dropped out of school, we couldn't feed, my dad would give me 3k weekly, wifey was pregnant. We all started looking malnorished.(tears rolling down my chick)

2018:
Stayed at home jobless for the better part of 2 year. Hire a 2 by 4 shop to sell 2nd hand shoes. Borrowed 100k from cooperative to pay 12k monthly for 10 months in the tick of the recession. Frustration set in when the shoes didn't sell and began to spoiled one by one in my shop. In frustration, l abandoned the shoes + 6 months rent to my landlady.

Borrowed 400k this time to buy a bus T4 Volkswagen product nija used. Drove it myself. It worked for 2 months (or so l thought). Eventually wanted to send my to my early grave. It will produce 9k and gulp double the amount, produce 4k and gulp 15. At a point it stopped bringing in money for 3 months and instead set my back by 100k in debts. Again frustration came knocking. I had enough when it kept me resuming by 8am in a mechanic work shop and retiring by 7pm like a banker for good 14 days. I quit. Sold it for half the price..... 200k. Debts deepened..... neck deep in debts......emotional now.....can't continue..... sorry

I didn't add that my only achievement in Buhari's 4 years was giving birth to a healthy baby. Remembered how much we prayed not to have a deformed baby due to acute malnutrition. Imagine a family of three plus baby in the womb managing 3k in 7 days.

My baby girl came out better looking, healthier and fatter (in a kpako hospital) than my son who was born in affluence (private air-conditioned ward). What miracle!

Boss I hail you sir! You are a true courageous Nigerian. And I trust that God will open greater doors of progress to you.

But my question to Buhari's supporters is this, must we all continue to go through this needless pain and suffering?

Is this the kind of country that we want our children to inherit? But God forbid. The lifeless one must be sent back to his village by our collective votes.

I think I have shared my story before on this platform. Well, lemme not go into long stories.

Every self-sponsored student abroad between 2014 and transfer of power to Buhari in 2015 felt the heat. Dollar skyrocked from 195 - above 300.

18,000RMB school fees that was originally less N770,000 become over N1m overnight! Not to talk of insurance fees, accommodation and medicals! Buhari try well well.

Apart from this mind-boggling increase, next was that money transfers were not allowed aboard. Master and Visa ATM cards could no longer be used to cash money abroad. Western Union and co were blocked. That means you couldn't access living allowance that your parents in Nigeria sends to you. Hunger everywhere. Terrible Terrible.

Worst time of my life.

Friend, I feel your pain, that is the singular reason why I always refer to Buhari as disaster personified.

When I kick against his re election, some Un enlightened fellows may think it is as a result of ethnic bias, but the truth remains that that man's economic policies stinks

I have a small scale business with about 16 staff, in 2014, we embarked on projects like building residential buildings from the excess profit from business ,

Fast forward to 2017, and we found ourselves struggling and doing everything we can just to pay our workers salary. Business became sluggish, customers are not even willing to pay half of what they used to pay, price of machinery and raw materials doubled, yet our profit margin reduced by almost 60%

Buhari is a curse and a plague to the business world

The postponement of the 2019 election came as a shock to Nigerians who had already made up their minds to vote out incompetence, nepotism, killings and poverty. However, one cannot take power from tyrants without being bruised. This is part of the bruise that Nigerians need to sustain for a better Nigeria. A lot of Nigerians had fixed sensitive activities for 23rd February, like their weddings. Will they now shift it? A lot of Nigerians had borrowed money to stock up food and fuel supplies for this election, and a lot of people have spent billions traveling across the country to go and cast their votes against bad governance, recession, poverty and incompetence.

In fighting dictatorship, there is no way one will have an easy ride. Buhari had already, through his secret agencies, conducted objective assessments of the election, and was already sure of losing until now. Are Nigerians fazed? Never! Why would Nigerians be fazed when too much is at stake? Do you know that in the next killing spree, your family could be next in the list of people to be killed? Do you know that you might be the next in line to lose your job or have your business fold up in the next round of recession coming to Nigerians? Do you know your husband could be the next person to be locked up against court orders? Do you know that your sons could be killed trying to defend this great nation against Boko Haram and banditry?

A lot is at stake and the voters know this. They know that there is no sacrifice too big for a better Nigeria. Destiny can be delayed but cannot be denied. There is a resolve around the country more than ever. And that resolve goes beyond religion or tribe. That resolve is an unwritten agreement that Never Again shall we have a government without value for human lives. Never again shall we have a government with so much affinity to poverty. Never again shall we have a government so corrupt and never again shall we have a government so incompetent that in the last one month, additional 3m Nigerians have become poorer.

The only reason why I will go out and vote for Dr Atiku Abubakar is so that my generation can have a better future.


wise0ne:
NEVER IN THE ANALS OF NIGERIA'S HISTORY!

100 Reasons Why Buhari Must Go
1. Buhari is the most nepotistic Nigerian president ever. He makes no pretense about it.

2. Economy, Anti-Terrorism and Anti-Corruption: These were his 3 cardinal campaign points in 2015. He failed in all of them.

3. In 2015, even before he appointed Ministers, Buhari approved over N39.4 billion naira to NNPC to prospect for crude oil in Northern Nigeria. The project has turned out to be a total waste of taxpayers’ money.

4. His current tenure witnessed the 3rd economic recession in Nigeria. The first was during his regime as a military dictator.

5. Within 3 years of his government, over 11 million Nigerians lost their jobs.

6. Under Buhari’s watch, Nigeria became the poverty capital of the world. 86.9 million Nigerians are now living in extreme poverty. This represents nearly 50% of its estimated population of 180 million.

7. Killings by Fulani Herdsmen rose to an unprecedented scale under Buhari’s watch. The killings were carried out with impunity.

8. Buhari destroyed almost all the free and fair electoral gains of the past administrations.

9. The Obasanjo administration removed Nigeria from international debt. Buhari plunged Nigeria back into extreme foreign debt. According to NBS, Nigeria’s debt profile grew by 40% within the first 2 years of the Buhari government. Currently, Nigeria owes N22.4 trillion ($73.2 billion).

10. He promised to sell off planes in the presidential fleet when he becomes president. He never did.

12. It took Buhari 6 months to appoint a set of mediocre Ministers.

13. Ibe Kachikwu – his Minister of State for Petroleum - blew the whistle on illegal oil contracts worth $25billion (N9trillion) done by the GMD of NNPC. Buhari neither probed it nor removed the GMD.

14. Buhari uses state security apparatus to pursue vendettas. For instance, despite court orders for their release, he has kept Ibrahim El-Zakzaky and Sambo Dasuki illegally incarcerated.

15. Before his election, Buhari swore that fuel subsidy never existed. Today, his government has so far paid over 1.4trillion in fuel subsidy.

16. According to an Amnesty International report, the killer Fulani herdsmen have slaughtered 3,641 Nigerians. All these killings occurred within 3 years of the Buhari rule.

17. Till this day, not one killer herdsman has been arrested and prosecuted.

18. Folarin Coker, the former head of an agency in Lagos state, diverted N3billion from the account of the state government into his Wife's 32 bank accounts. Buhari recruited him into his government, as the DG, NTDC. The corruption case died a natural death.

20. Buhari’s mismanagement of the economy introduced Double digit inflation to the country.

21. Abba Kyari - Buhari’s Chief of Staff (CoS) - took a N500m bribe from MTN. He did it to help the company reduce the $5.2 billion fine imposed on it by the federal government. Even with concrete evidences presented to Buhari, he did nothing about it.

28. The Buhari government make claims to have saved trillions of Naira in the TSA. Still, they kept gallivanting around the world in search of foreign loans.
